Nearly 10 Million Pounds Of Meat Recalled Due To Listeria Concerns

Affected meats may have been used in ready-to-eat products that are on store shelves or in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.

Bruce-Pac has placed a recall on nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.

The recall was placed due to possible listeria contamination. They were distributed to restaurants and institutions nationwide.

Affected meats may have been used in ready-to-eat products that are on store shelves or in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Services discovered the issue during routine product testing.

The products that may have been affected were produced from June 19-October 8.

So far there have been no confirmed reports of reactions to the consumption of these products. However, the recall follows a deadly listeria outbreak connected to recalled Boar’s Head deli meat.

Consumers should throw the products out or return them to the place of purchase.
